I hope 2016 brings you extended periods of joy, reduced period of bad stress and the best mixture possible of whatever makes you happy.
I put together these little fellas below in a moment of sheer genius. Ok, maybe just in a moment. My offer to you this week is to read my truths of 2016, consider and add your own to the list or delete those that don't resonate with you.
If you wake up alive and breathing-be pleased, you've made it to the next round!
The stories you tell yourself are not THE truth. They are YOUR truth. You don't have to believe them and you can even rewrite the stories.
Perspective is everything. Don't wait for a major tragedy to appreciate what you've got. Appreciate it now.
In the words of Joel Osteen – sometimes the best gift someone can give us is the gift of goodbye. Say goodbye to energy zapping people. If you're not sure who those energy zappers are, just tune in to how alive and inspired (or uninspired) you feel when with these people.

Always trust your intuition and know that even when you don't, it will still help you out over and over again.Intuition holds no grudges by saying 'but you didn't listen last time.' You always get another chance.
Enjoy the people and places that surround you at this moment in time. You invited them in one way or another. Love them for whatever they bring.
In this world of electronic devices where upgrades are available, think of every birthday as an upgrade of YOU version: (fill in your age). Reflect on how you are a new improved version of yourself from the previous year- what did you learn? How did you grow?
Now go forth beautiful warriors of 2016, and live your best year ever.
Inspiration as usual! Thank you Denise. I will be sharing my favorite.
